We, Moroccan miners, are sorry to hear about the news of the threat of our comrade from Germany Andreas Tadysiak to his housing stability, which he occupied for years, during which he spent the flower of his youth working in the company's mines.

IndustriALL Democratic Republic of the Congo council discussed Glencore’s broken promises to mineworkers at a meeting on 21 October.

Among the martyrs of poverty and marginalization, and the absence of any practical solutions on the part of the state's policies, since the uprising of the youth of the city of Jerada in 2018, and the repression and unfair rulings accompanying it.
